Lu Xuan looked serious and said calmly: "Mr. Xu is a famous person in the world, how could I not know it? At that time, the Ling Emperor Liu Hong was stupid and incompetent, which led to the loss of life. Mr. Xu joined forces with Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, and others to prepare to abolish him. Liu Hong established a new king with astonishing courage."
"Although he failed, Mr. Xu's courage to be the first in the world is admired by Lu Xuan. I wish I had been born decades earlier and planned together with Mr. Xu."
"Now, I actually saw the real person."
"It's natural to be excited."
Lu Xuan knew Xu You's virtues. He was bold, ambitious, and quite arrogant. However, there is value in using such a person. After all, Xu You is Yuan Shao's confidant, and Yuan Shao cannot make Xu You truly loyal.
When Xu You heard Lu Xuan's words, his eyebrows relaxed and a proud smile appeared on his face.
Although conspiring to destroy Liu Hong made him trapped for several years, Xu You was very proud of himself.
The people of the world are obedient to the emperor.
He was the only one who dared to plan to depose the emperor.
This is his courage.
Lu Xuan's words tickled Xu You's heart, and he chuckled and said: "Lu Shijun is too generous. They are all young and frivolous, and they have no time to do anything. That's why they dare to do anything. If it were now, he would have lost his courage a long time ago. "
Lu Xuan said: "Mr. Xu is so polite. Your righteous deed can be regarded as a model for our generation."
Xu You even stroked his beard and chuckled, and said: "Lu Shijun defeated Xu. At a young age, Lu Shijun conquered Yangzhou and killed Lu Bu. Now he defeated Liu Bei and made great military exploits, which is even more impressive. "
Lu Xuan waved his hands and said: After having a conversation with Mr., I actually left him here and neglected him. Mr. Xu, please. "
"please!"
Xu You smiled and nodded.
He looked at Lu Xuan with great admiration. No wonder Lu Xuan was the leader of the party at such a young age, and his treatment of others was admirable.
Lu Xuan took Xu You to the camp and sat down.
He immediately had Feixian wine delivered.
Normally, Lu Xuan leads by example and never drinks in the military camp. Unless there was a victory in the battle, the army was celebrating, and the soldiers were drinking together, Lu Xuan would drink some. Today we were going to entertain Xu You. The situation was special, so Lu Xuancai had someone bring Feixian wine and some meat.
Lu Xuan asked someone to pour wine for Xu You and toasted him himself.
Xu You wanted to get down to business several times, but Lu Xuan interrupted him and made frequent toasts. After three rounds of drinking, Xu You was a little drunk, and at this time the relationship between the two became much closer.
Speaking is also much easier.
Lu Xuan put down the wine bottle and asked with a smile: "Mr. Xu comes from Jizhou, what's the matter?"
Xu You put down his wine glass, cheered up and said, "Lu Shijun, I am following the order of my lord to come and marry Lu Shijun."
Lu Xuan asked: "How to get married?"
Xu You said with a smile: "My lord does not have a daughter of the right age, but he happens to have an adopted daughter Zhen Mi, who is well-behaved and intelligent. My lord's plan is to marry Zhen Mi to Lord Lu. The Yuan family and the Lu family will always have a good relationship. Do you know what Lu Shijun wants?"
Lu Xuan was surprised.
Zhen Mi!
This is the famous Luo Shen.
Lu Xuan was thinking in his mind. He couldn't figure out Yuan Shao's intention, so he tried: "Mr. Xu, does Yuan Jizhou want to control me by marrying off his daughter, and then further plot to seize Yangzhou?"
"no."
Xu You shook his head and answered.
He looked relaxed and explained: "To be honest with Lu Shijun, the reason for the marriage is because Lu Shijun is young and promising, so the lord hopes to strengthen the relationship through marriage. To be honest, the person who proposed the marriage happens to be me."
"In addition, the Zhen family is definitely helpful to Lu Shijun. Although the Zhen family in Zhongshan, Hebei, does not have a big background, it is quite wealthy and has considerable power in Hebei. Lu Shijun will definitely not lose money by marrying Zhen Mi."
"It's a win-win strategy."
"What my lord wants is for the two parties to marry and strengthen their relationship."
Xu You smiled and said: "Please Lu Shijun, please don't worry about anything, let alone think that my lord marries a daughter with any malicious intentions."
Lu Xuan had a smile on his face.
For Lu Xuan, marrying Zhen Mi would bring no harm at all. With this relationship with the Zhen family, Lu Xuan will have a stepping stone when he enters Jizhou in the future, which will bring Lu Xuan closer to the big family in Jizhou.
After Lu Xuan thought about it, he said, "Since it was Mr. Xu who pushed it forward, I agree. I believe Mr. Xu can't harm me."
Xu You was relieved when he heard Lu Xuan's reply.
It's done.
Otherwise, if Lu Xuan refuses, his trip will be in vain, which would be too embarrassing.
Xu You held the wine bottle and said, "Shijun Lu is a generous and sincere person, I respect you."
Lu Xuan drank, put down the wine bottle in his hand, looked at Xu You, frowned slightly, couldn't help but sigh, and shook his head again, looking helpless.
Xu You asked, "Why are you sighing?"
Lu Xuan replied: "The reason why I sigh is that there are too few talents under my command. Unlike Yuan Shao's command, there are talents like Mr. Xu, Jusue, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, Shen Pei, Xun Chen and other talents. , there are too many talents.”
"There is not a single talent under my command, they are all reckless and impulsive young people."
"It would be great if I had a great talent like Mr. Xu. I wonder if Mr. Xu is willing to stay and work in Yangzhou? I would like to worship Mr. Xu as my guest in Yangzhou and take charge of the government affairs of the government."
Lu Xuan looked at Xu You longingly.
A look of expectation.
Xu You drank the wine and looked at Lu Xuan's expression. He felt happy, but he shook his head and said: "Lu Shijun is so considerate. Xu You is very grateful. However, Xu You is a loyal person and cannot betray. Please also ask Lu Shijun Haihan." .”
Lu Xuan's face twitched when he heard this.
Do you claim to be loyal?
People who claim to be loyal are not very loyal in most cases.
Xu You is not loyal to Yuan Shao either.
Xu You followed Yuan Shao to do things because Yuan Shao was the easiest person to succeed in the current world situation. When Yuan Shao failed to succeed, and there was even a fight within Yuan Shao, which affected Xu You, Xu You was the first to betray Yuan Shao, and personally caused Yuan Shao's defeat.
These do not affect Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan planned to use Xu You to open a crack in Jizhou. Because I got in touch with Xu You, I got even closer to Jizhou.
Lu Xuan chuckled and said: "I know Mr. Xu is loyal and loyal. Although Mr. Xu can't give me any advice, I think the Xu family must have people with great talents. Mr. Xu can't go south to Yangzhou, can you let people from the Xu family come to Yangzhou? What about work? Mr. Xu, please rest assured that as long as they come to Yangzhou, I will treat them well."
Xu You was moved when he heard this, but he said humbly: "Lu Shijun, my sons are all incompetent people."
Lu Xuan said: "Mr. Xu is too humble. Just like you, you have outstanding talents and super courage, but you are humble and simple. The people of the Xu family must be like this. Please help me, Mr. Xu."
Xu You was moved by Lu Xuan's enthusiasm and had a good impression of Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan is really thirsty for talents.
This is the gift of a wise master.
Xu You thought for a while and said: "My eldest son Xu Xian has some abilities. If Lu Shijun doesn't mind, when I return to Jizhou, let Xu Xian go south to join Lu Shijun."
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Xu."
At this moment, Lu Xuan really smiled.
It is easy to win over people like Xu You, and it will be easier to close the relationship with Yuan Shao when he is in decline. As long as Xu You's son Xu Xian goes south to work at Lu Xuan's place, Xu Xian can contact Xu You.
This is the key to breaking the situation.
This move will be used against Yuan Shao in the future.
Xu You took the initiative and said: "Lu Shijun, the matter has been completed, I have to go back."
Lu Xuan frowned and said: "Mr. Xu has just arrived in Xuyi County and is about to leave. Doesn't it seem that I am not treating guests well and neglecting Mr. Xu?"
Xu You said: "Lu Shijun is unparalleled in his benevolence and righteousness. How could he be so negligent? He really has something important to do and has to leave."
Lu Xuan sighed: "That's all, just Mr. Xu, I'll give it to Mr. Xu as a gift."
He personally sent Xu You out of the camp before returning to the tent.
Lu Meng asked: "My lord, Xu You is very arrogant and self-righteous. Is he worthy of your friendship? I think Xu You is not very good. He is far worse than Mr. Kuai Liang, let alone Mr. Lu Su and Xu Shu."
Lu Xuan chuckled and said: "Xu You is Yuan Shao's absolute confidant. This alone makes it worth making friends with. Xu You wants to send his son to me. This is the breakthrough point for our future plans for Jizhou. Do you understand?"
Lu Meng suddenly understood and praised: "My lord is wise."
Lu Xuan changed the subject and asked, "Gan Ning has been away with his people for several days. Is there any latest news?"
Lu Meng shook his head and replied: "I only know that General Gan went north along the Surabaya River. I don't know if he has reached Xiapi. There is no latest news."
Lu Xuan nodded, said no more, and continued to study Xuyi County's information.
